Before you begin - Shake and squeeze the planter to help loosen the compost. Position the planter in the correct orientation depending on what you are growing. Lay it flat for an 18cm depth for planting salads, herbs, and bushy crops such as strawberries, peppers, and chillies. Flip it on its side to achieve a 30cm depth that’s 50% deeper than traditional growbags, perfect for peas, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Stand it upright for a game-changing 37cm of depth. Ideal for growing long-root crops like carrots, parsnips, and even potatoes.
Do the prep - Make plenty of drainage holes on the underside of that orientation. Then cut along the line markings to make the planting hole.
Fluff up the compost - With gloved hands, remove enough compost to make a planting hole sufficient for the root ball of the plant. Rework the remaining compost in the planter between gloved hands or using a hand fork to break up and regain its intended texture.
Get planting - Place the planting hole and top up with the removed reworked compost. Firm in and water well. For potatoes, remove half the compost, rework the remaining compost in the planter, and insert chitted seed potatoes and top up with 15-20cm of the reworked removed compost. Then position in a sheltered spot, leaning against a wall or shed. For tomatoes, peas, and beans, add supports before you plant. Keep the compost moist; in hot weather, daily watering may be required.
